This looks delicious. I try and eat vegan the most I can, but it's hard when I don't find many vegan items in my local grocery store. What are the staple vegan items that you recommend and where can you find them for a good price?

Hi neha — We find good prices on vegan items in international markets and grocery stores with bulk bins. Coconut milk and chili sauce, for example, are almost always cheaper in int'l markets. Items like nutritional yeast, TVP, and oats are a better value from bulk bins.

We also suggest fudging around with the recipes and substituting ingredients for more common place items. For instance, syrup in place of agave or use less coconut milk/almond milk in place of soy cream.

We are working on a few info-graphs that will function as references for grocery staples, substitutions, etc. If you would like a little more help with this feel free to send us an email here.

This reminds me of a decadent peanut butter icing I just saw on http://www.fengshuidana.com/2012/02/27/gluten-free-beet-brownies-that-rock/...the brownies she makes are just gluten free (eggs in them) but the icing is something I'm bookmarking for later and think it might be nice to dollop on this, no?

Hi Anonymous. Usually the darker the chocolate, the better the chance of them being vegan. Check the ingredients carefully. Dark chocolate nibs and carob chips make good replacements, if you can't find any vegan brands at your local grocery store.

If we take longer, it is probably because you suggested something for the recipe or posed a problem, and we are re-making the recipe to double check its effectiveness.
